Quality over Quantity

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Anyone who reads my reviews regularly will know that I like to celebrate my tenth reviews by writing top tens. My tenth review was "Top 10 Underrated Movies" My twentieth review was "Top 10 Bad Habits" My thirtieth review was "Top 10 Films of The Decade" I thought I should balance out the bad habits review and thus I was drawn to this category. I also like this category as it so open ended, Top 10 Qualities??.? In a partner? In a friend? In a world leader? There is no indication, which means there is lots of scope for the writer. When I think about the qualities that different people have I am reminded of the Friends episode where Chandler finds out all the other Friends thought he was gay when they met him. But what makes him seem gay? His hair? His jokes? No, he just has a quality. A quality? But, what is a quality...

TOP QUALITY CHOCOLATES

Advantages: A RANGE TO CHOOSE FROM
Disadvantages: HAVING TO FIGHT FOR THE FAVOURITE

...As you know I absolutaly hate chocolates, cant stand them, (oh yeah right), thats why right now... I think I am in heaven I am sat here with a massive box of chocolates, Quality Street of course, my daughter bought them for us for Christmas and in a temporary lapse of madness I forgot about them, I mean how could I forget such a wonderful,luscious present as big as this. The box I have is a 1.7kg box and is too heavy for me to lift so my lovely hubby has perched them on the coffee table so I can talk to you about them and of course purely for on your behalf have the job of chief taster. First of all the box cost £7.00 and it?s a hexagonal shape with the shapes of the chocolates sort of shaped out so you can feel each one and all the pretty colours are there,Green,Purple,Orange, Yellow. At the top of the tin it says Quality...

TOP QUALITY FOR CAMERA AND STYLE

Advantages: Great camera and responsive touch screen
Disadvantages: Lack of display settings

...As someone who wants two main qualities in the phone i use, i cannot reccommend highly enough the LG KU990 Viewty if you are looking for an excellent camera phone with style to match. This may sound over the top to some who find the camera doesn't match their seperate digital cameras quality and that the phone is not as stylish as others available. However you have to be a realist when choosing a camera phone! You cannot expect a multi-functional device to excel in a certain area so much so it is actually better than one that is designed soley for that function. The quality of the camera is very good and actually pushes my 7mp digital camera close in terms of quality. Uploading pics to a pc is easy enough and the printed photos are good enough to frame and display. Due to this it is excellent to have on a day or night out...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

***QUALITY CHRISTMAS***

Advantages: Something for everyone, snazzy packaging & value for money
Disadvantages: You get the odd one you don't like & they can get sickly after a while.

...This is my special Christmas review I don't normally eat this many chocolates in a row (honest) but for ciao I will make an exception. THE START OF QUALITY STREET Quality Street have been around forever haven't they? Along with Roses I think they were invented with Adam and Eve, that wasn't leaves covering their modesty it was the green triangle! Produced by Nestle in 1936 they came out in pretty boxes costing around 2 shilling and in the 50's moved on to the tins which I think was the best and will remain the best packaging for Quality Street. Quality Street is exported to over 70 worldwide countries and remains one of the most exciting chocolate varieties you can buy. They were no1 bestseller for twist wrap assortment in 2005, 06 and 07 proving they still have what it takes to please people's taste buds. PACKAGING You can...

Quality Save

Advantages: Cheap, very cheap at times
Disadvantages: Nothing, but be careful when you buy food

...Quality Save (shop) I visited Quality Save yesterday for the second time only, and I thought I would share the experience with you. Previously, one of my friends told me about this shop but I wasn't very enthusiastic, but later on I had to visit it. I mean, sometimes, if you feel like buying new Nike trainers, big chocolate boxes from Thorntons and so on, you become obliged to watch your expenditure. However, if you are too rich to go to this shop, please do not continue reading; if I didn't have to visit it, I wouldn't have made this daring move? just kidding! Unlike supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl, which depend on selling their own labels at low prices, Quality Save sells known products that you can find everywhere but at much higher prices in the other shops. This shop does not sell any frozen or chilled products...

Review of Quality Save (Shop)

Quality Treat

Advantages: Fantastic value
Disadvantages: Moreish, can be easy to over indulge

...I love Christmas and am lucky to have friends and family to enjoy it with. A product I always associate with Christmas is Quality Street as it always seems to have been around at this special time of year. Today somehow it appears much more ordinary and less luxurious than the packaging and media hype would have you believe. Still popular in offices and mess rooms, it seems many people still feel the urge to dip into a tin and select their personal favourite. Please indulge me as I try to explain why I think this assortment still represents a savvy buy at Christmas or thereabouts. Value For Money Local supermarkets were knocking out a 1.2 kg tin (which is 1.16kg sweets if you exclude the wrappings) at the rate of any 2 for £9.00 just before Christmas. This equates to less than 39p per 100g for a well known and branded...

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...

Quality Street

Advantages: central location, cheap(ish), large room
Disadvantages: hanging space limited, rooms on a walkway

...buffet breakfasts *and* a free buffet dinner. Already Quality Inn was racking up some points with me! * The room * As we entered, there were two large double beds in a spacious, air conditioned room. The bathroom was tiddly - just a bath/shower and a toilet and all very, ahem, compact. The sink was outside, along with a hairdryer on the wall, a safe, coffee maker and a microwave (so near the sink - a good idea?!). There was also a fridge which was most handy for cold drinks which were much needed as the weather topped 90 degrees most days. There's a phone and alarm clock by the bed and also internet access which buzzed for no apparent reason. There was no wardrobe, only a pole which hung near the sink. When sharing the hangers, my friend and I only had three each. Pretty measley *and* they were attached so that you couldn't nick...

Review of Quality Inn International, Orlando

Quality in a box!

Advantages: CHOCOLATE! Good variety. Different size containers. Yummy!
Disadvantages: You cant just have one!

...Its very rare that i recieve a box of Quality street chocolates, but boy, when i do they do not last for long. After babysitting my two little cousins last week, my Aunt and uncle decided to treat me: to a huge tin of Quality Streets. (Think they're trying to fatten me up). I was thrilled with my gift and couldnt wait to get stuck in! The tin was octagonal and weighed a whopping 1.2kg. Im not sure how much this would have costed as i got it from somebody and im not rude enough to ask. The tin was quite good looking, bright purple with QUALITY STREET written in white writing. There were also a few pictures of the sweets inside on top of the tin and around the sides. Opening the tin, i didnt get a strong smell of chocolate, this was probably to do with the fact all the chocolates were wrapped up in foil paper. The tin was...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Hurrah for people

Advantages: All about me - a bonus, obviously.
Disadvantages: Completely self-indulgent and far too long.

...I was surprised that this category didn't exist before I tried to write in it. It's such a good way of really finding out about someone, I think. (Apologies for lack of proper reviews at the moment, I will write one next I promise! I sort of had this one in the pipeline, as such, and was just waiting for my proposal to be accepted, which is why it has come so quickly after my last review.) The top 10 qualities that I admire the most in a person are: 1. A good sense of humour I know it's clichéd. I'm sorry I haven't come up with a more original No. 1. Top 10 Quality. But humour, I think, means more to me than anything else. I will instantly respect someone if they can make me laugh, and the more they make me laugh, the more I admire them. This has, on the odd occasion, led itself to ridiculous situations; when I meet...
